Laingsburg Community Schools issued a public notice explaining that its current K–5 literacy curriculum, Wonders by McGraw-Hill, is not on the Michigan Department of Education’s Recommended Literacy Materials List. The district states it has conducted a local review and documented that Wonders is evidence-based and aligned with the science of reading requirements in state law. The notice also commits the district to continue monitoring literacy instruction, student data, and state guidance as part of its regular curriculum review cycle, with any future curriculum changes to be communicated to families.This indicates an ongoing evaluation process that could lead to future curriculum adoption, supplementary materials, assessments, or professional development purchases aligned to the science of reading. Vendors of literacy curricula, interventions, and related training can position themselves for the next review cycle by aligning to Michigan’s evidence-based criteria and offering support for data-driven instructional improvement.
